TMC MP: Sack party MPs linked to Saradha Group
April 24, 2013  18:10
With the Trinamool Congress government under fire over the alleged fraud by collapsed chitfund company Saradha Group, senior party leader Saugata Roy today blamed central agencies like RBI for not taking action in the matter.


"The Centre did not take action. RBI could have taken steps. But it did not act," Roy, a TMC Lok Sabha member said. Roy said he had made a case against chitfunds during his speech in Lok Sabha on December 18 last year. Kunal Ghosh and and Srinjoy Bose have links with the group.


To a question on the return of money to the defrauded depositers, he said that the West Bengal government had no role in it. "Even if the state government wanted it cannot do so. It has to be done at the direction of the High Court. If the matter later goes to court and a liquidator is appointed, then it can be done," he said, adding that government has instituted a SIT probe and an high-level inquiry into it.

He also said the two TMC MPs linked to the group should be asked to step down, but the decision still lay with the CM.
